Taught By: J Y Song
Section: A

Music, in all its forms, is a type of storytelling. In this course, you will examine how storytelling acts as a vital mechanism for expression. By examining works from the Baroque to contemporary periods, you will learn different narrative styles with the goal of sharpening your own playing. Short readings and reflective writing exercises will cement learning. Over the course of the semester, you will work on a project crafting possible narratives in the repertoire you are learning, and making a final live or video performance that reflects your new insights. Ultimately, you will learn how to refine your musical narrative to create a vivid, unforgettable performance. This course fulfills the Graduate Seminar requirement for Mannes MM students.
